Sba certainly, however, bears no resemblance to will under all circumstances protect them in their rights by all legitimate means at our command." This action has raised a rumpus among tho mo ceaumul adventuress. She says she baf an income of a year from Bavaria, am? speaking of her picture-making today ah adaed maltsters ana brewery workingmen who are "Now, I have produced lots of pictures ant ful machinery now used in every line of industry, ought, in order to be profitable at all, produce much more than the total output given in the census. While it Is absolutely certain that capital does not receive 36 or o7 per cent in gross profits," it is just as certain that the average wages paid for days actually worked is not as low as l.lb.

These errors, which have run through each Federal census since 1S10, should be corrected in the eleventh census. That great difficulties will present themselves there is no doubt. Bo difficult indeed is it to get at the real capital invested that wide-awake statisticians have sought to eliminate this feature, and CoL Lord of the Illinois Labor Bureau puts forth an effort in his report for 15S4 to ascertain the per cent of profit contained in the gross, product, ignoring capital invested altogether. CoL Carroll D. "VV right of the Massachusetts Bureau also attempted this.

But their methods would seem to be impracticable for taking a Federal census. A simple reform in the schedules, however, would eliminate the more vicious features from the census of 1S90. First, the capital invested should be changed to comprehend all capital used in producing the year's output, whether credit capital or other. The raw-material feature need not be changed from the present method. The gross product item should represent the wholesale selling value of the year's output.

The Dumber of employes should be taken, not only with a view to ascertaining total numbers, but age and sex. The greatest number on pay-roll at any one time should be taken, with the lowest number, and the average number of employes as given by the individual firm. The wages scnedule, while giving total wages paid, should also discriminate as to sex, aduits, and children. Two other features should be added to the schedules First, the proportion that the business of the year bore to tne greatest capacity for production of the establishment; second, the number of weeks in actual operation during the year. A census taken upon such schedules would be at least approximately correct, while under the present system it can never be other than wrong.

The great difficulty met by census-takers is to get capitalists to answer their questions. This is a very grave mistake on the part of business-men. Untold harm has been done by the erroneous stfttis-tics given out as official industrial census. Tne way for business-men to correct this is to give the full value of capital in use, and ail pertinent points required by an industrial census. The injury done by false returns can only be corrected by telling tne whole truth.

The census shows increasing returns to capital, with rapidly decreasing wages, simply because it does not show one-half the capital in use, and employs a fallacious method in reporting wages. Attention has been called to these mistaken methods of census-taking upon several occasions by Mr. Carroll D. Wright and others, and now that the time for taking another is so near at hand Congress should adopt such reform as would correct these manifest but harmful errors. B.

SpeclaLJ After discussing the School-Book bills nearly the entire time of both sessions today tho Senate, by a vote of 30 to 14, substituted the Harsh amendment for the committee bill. The negative votes were cast by Senators Barnett, Cassatt, Finn, Funk, Garlock, Kelly, McVay, Parrott, Poyner, Price, Taylor, Webber, Wiedmann. The rules were then suspended and the bill put upon its passage and passed by a vote of 38 to 4, negative votes being cast by Senators Casaatt, Finn, McVay, and Wiedmann.

The bill empowers the Boards of Directors of school districts to adopt and purchase text-books and necessary supplies at the lowest wholesale or contract prices and sell to the pupils at actual cost. They are also empowered to submit tne question of furnishing text-books and supplies free to a vote of tho district. If it is decided to furnish them free, they are to be paid for fjoni the contingent fund, me levy to be made sufficient for that purpose. The books are to be issued by the Secretary of the district to the teachers and before final payment of salary is mado to the teachers all me books must be accounted for. Before purchasing books or supples the Directors must advertise and award contracts to me best bidders the right to reject all bids being reserved.

The, parties receiving the contracts must give bond, to be approved by the County Sgiierintehdeut, and no series of books shall be changed for five years unless by a majorityvote. In the House tne discussion of the Wilbur substitute occupied the whole day. It provided for State uniformity and a State Commission, but did not compel the districts to adopt the State series after such a series had been selected until they decided to change books. The bond cause was amended, changing it from a fixed to a certain amount for each kind of books. A voto was reached on the adoption of the substitute in place of the committee bill, just before adjournment this evening, and the substitute was defeated by a vote of yeas, 4(1; nays, 49.

In the House the "Bohemian Oats" bill was called up, the vote by which it was defeated was reconsidered and me bill amended, making it similar to the Michigan law. In Uiat shape it was passed by to 10. A joint convention was called for April 4 to elect State Printer and State Binder.

Washington, D. March 29.

The House today went into Committee of me Whole on the Indian Appropriation bill. Mr. Nelson of Minnesota took advantage of the general debate to speak upon the tariff. It was not honest, he said, to call men who favored tariff reduction free-traders. The men who opposed all forms of tariff reduction were not the only friends of American labor, nor were they the only guardians of American enterprise.

The question of protection or free trade was not fairly involved in the problem Congress had to solve. The question was whether the surplus should be got rid of by extravagant expenditures or whether the taxes should be reduced. The great body of the people were agreed that the surplus should be reduced by a reduction of taxation. The next question presented was whether that reduction should be applied to the tariff or internal-revenue taxes. He sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a letter received by him from Charles A.

Fillsbury of Minneapolis, who, he stated, was a prominent Republican warmly commending his course in Congress upon the tariff question, and declaring that 90 per cent of the Democrats and 75 per cent of the Republicans of Minnesota agreed with him in his views. The reading of the letter was applauded on the Democratic side. He se nt to me Clerk's desk and had read extracts from Minnesota newspapers and private letters to himself favoring tariff revision. The reading was also received with great applause. Mr.

Nelson next quoted Western Republican platforms declaring in favor of reduction in tno tariff at an early day, and added, amidst the laughter and applause of the Democrats: And now, my friends, is the appointed time." Continuing, he said that evn as stiff a protectionist as Senator Sherman had been forced at me meeting of the Home Market Club in Boston to admit the necessity of tariff revision and to declare in favor of the admission free of duty of such raw material and articles as did not compete with domestic products. In the face of these and these admissions, in the face of the great and growing surplus taken from the people and used by certain banks without consideration, it made him sick at heart to mink that there were leading men on his side of the Chamber who at this juncture could not think of any other field for tax reduction than on whisky and tobacco. Surely these were Dot the things on which the poor laboring-man kept his family. Would it not be better to give theun cheaper clothes, and food, and shelter? He would put free sugar, tree salt, and free lumber against free whisky and tobacco, and so would me great mass of me American people. Mr.

Funston of Kansas attempted to put some questions to Mr. Nelson, but me latter remarked that the gentleman could have the floor to himself and took his seat, not replying to Mr. Funstou's challenge as to why he did not put wheat on me free list. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Mr.

Berry addressed the Senate today on the subject of the Fresident's annual message. He spoke of the universal interest awakened by the bold and fearless manner in which me system of Federal taxation was discussed in that message, and said that the time could not much longer be delayed when some change must be made in mat system. When fairly canvassed and understood its injustice would, he believed, necessitate a change. Taxation should be for revenue purposes only. The present system was utterly indefensible.

It was fundamentally wrong in principle and doubly wrong in its details. As running regularly. Ordinary strike and boycott tactics will not work with the brew examination is almost pitiful to see. Mr. and Mrs.

Well, the next time he spoke he was a bit more severe, and brought Attorneys Arney and Allison up with a sharp turn.

A ell, you can't consume as much time proportionately in the examination of others as you have for these.

I'll limit me time for the examination of such witnesses." There's no precedent ior it!" cried Mr. Arney. Then Pll make one," returned the Judge. It would be a good precedent to establish." Greater haste was made after this. The questions asked were about the same as those asked the day before, and the proceedings were somewhat lacking in interest.

Once a while, however, a Juror was found who relieved the monotony of the daughter of the famous Lola Mon oof of most arguments in Congress, Sen-and on the stump, as well as Tast majority of newspaper and Lgazine articles. Its totals are used clinch all arguments on both sides 0f all questions treated by it; by it Mr. Henry George would prove that farms are increasing in size and decreasing number, while Gen. Francis Walker proves by it that farms are decreasing in size and increasing in number. It is used by Washington Gladden to prove that wages are rapidly decreasing while capital is piling up in the hands of the few, while to Edward Atkinson it furnishes proof that the working classes are growing richer and the rich relatively poorer day by day.

Such a census is of great value to everj body, but especially so to the statistical jugglers who can manipulate its results. The tenth census (1SS0) was the most comprehensive in its plans of any like work ever attempted by any Government. It comprises twenty-two quarto volumes, equal in magnitude to the Encyclopedia Britannica, and is indeed the admiration of statisticians the world over. No one will deny that Gen. Walker deserves great credit for having projected and executed a census rising so far above the five schedules of the farmer ones as to become encyclopedic in its character.

This, too, at a per capita expense no greater than that of the former cen-gna. But the year 1690 inaugurates another, the eleventh census, and in it some of the radical defects of the tenth should be corrected. An industrial census is worse than useless if incorrect, ana if based upon an erroneous idea or fallacious method, the more accurately that false method is worked out in detail the more incorrect the result. In the canvass of manufacturers and industry the tenth census takers were started upon a false system, they did their false work well and the result is deplorable. The Yital defect of the tenth census lies in its metlwds of taking capital invested.

Misled by tbe results of the census, unable to detect its radical fallacy, many able and honest men lare become alarmed ana shaken their gory Jocks at what would seem from the census to iiean impending danger. The Hon. S. S. Cox in his famous speech in the Forty-eightb Congress used the following language, which las been extensively quoted In the year 1830 we had 233,852 manufacturing establishments.

The capital employed is given in the census reports at Now let ns see what were the profits on manufacturing in gross amount. The value of the manufactured product was, for the year ISSu, 191; deduct value of material used and wages paid a total of 4,34,777.344, and thus we have gross profit of These figures let forth a gross return to the capital invested in manufacturing of between 30 and 37 percent; sad with this return our protected manufacturers were only able to pay their si. 734555 employes (including clerks. 6upenntendants, and at the rate of $1.16 per dsy You can fitr-ire it for yourselves: Wages divided mong 2,732,595 employes, gives $347 Der annum pet capita; and allowing 3U0 working days, this pes aa average wage rate of H.16 per day. Tikis quotation is used because it contains teiess space more of the fallacies of the late iMastrial census than any other like number of words.

Xnu same statement is made daily by labor agitators and pessimistic economists, honestly believing, no doubt, in the correctness of the figures. Without any knowledge of census taking or statistical methods most practical business-men with experience in manufacturing would puncture Uie census bv the suggestion that it is impossible on of capital invested to turn out an annual product of the value of 55,000,000.000 Any man at ail versed in manufacturing knows that it is a good business that produces annually an amount of product equal to the investment, and a vast majority of establishments do not turn out over two-thirds of that amount. This leads us immediately to the methods emwoyed by the tenth census to arrive at capital investment. The census schedules in-qaired the amount of capital invested, raw material used, total wages paid, number of employes, aggregate product This would appear to be comprehensive, but let us see how it works. (Suppose A to be a manufacturer having invested, bona-fide capital, and this proves sufficient to produce an aggregate of ti.0uo.000 of product.
